Chapter 6 The Beginning of the Dawn

From this chapter onwards, our protagonist Gao Huan officially opened the protagonist's aura.

During the period of Emperor Xiaoming of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the corruption of the dynasty system, the economic recession, coupled with the previous Taihe reform, the Northern Wei Dynasty's idea of emphasizing the Han and the barbarism, led to the fact that the status of the ethnic minority tribes that were highly respected and preferential during the founding period was gradually replaced by the Han people, and was stationed in the northern border to guard against Rouran for a long time, and gradually formed six major military towns, from west to east they were Woye, Huaishuo, Wuchuan, Fuming, Rouxuan, and Huaihuang.

For the needs of the later plot, it is necessary for me to talk to you about the ancient manor system, the manor system began in the Spring and Autumn Period, the scale was formed in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and the final growth was in the Tang Dynasty. In the Han Dynasty, due to the popularization of land privatization, some large landlords also expanded their own manors, which were not only self-sufficient, but also built annexes for the owners to live for a long time. By the time of the Three Kingdoms, the manor even had private soldiers, the so-called government soldiers. That is to say, in the era of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the manor not only became larger and larger, but also gradually formed a military fortress-like existence.

Okay, without further ado, let's cut to the chase.

"Gao Junmen, on the orders of General Yang of the county guard, I ordered you to gather at the government school immediately at this moment, without delay, otherwise the military law will be engaged." The herald came galloping, and after a brief and swift order, he turned and headed for the east gate.

"What's the matter, so urgent, Junmen?" The veteran on the side came over and asked.

"How do I know that there must be something to say when you summon me in such a hurry." After that, he turned to the brothers who were still at their posts: "You stick to your posts, I will go and go back." ”

"Yes, Junmen!" The crowd replied.

After Gao Huan returned from Pingcheng, he continued to serve as the original post of the south gate of the city in the Huaishuo Army, the official is not big, or a dispensable idle position, but Gao Huan is very serious, get up early every day, order good people to the post to fulfill their duties, and practice his tricks in his spare time, riding horses and archery and the like are also often practiced, when he is a modern person, he is very uncomfortable at first, and often tells his subordinates: Although Taizu is about to fight the world immediately, but the way of governing the country can not be wasted. The crowd laughed and laughed when they heard him speak.

Taking advantage of the convenience of the door guard, Gao Huan often opened the back door for some illegal businessmen under the guise of public welfare and smuggled goods. So as to make a little extra money, but Gao Huan didn't swallow this money himself, but took out most of the brothers on duty to drink and eat meat, and sent the remaining part home to buy noodles and vegetables for his mother, of course, Gao Huan also knew that a large part of this money was taken by his uncompetitive father to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble.

Among these businessmen looking for Gao Huan's smuggled goods, there is a salt merchant named Liu Gui, who is very close to Gao Huan, every time he comes to Huaishuo to sell salt, he is called by Brother Huan, and he invites him to eat and give gifts.

Our classmate Gao Huan is also a good modern young man with a hearty and informal personality, and he had a good eloquence for running business in his previous life, of course, he can get along with these businessmen who come and go from south to north.

Gao Huan was out of breath and trotted to the school field behind the mansion, dozens of people had already gathered in one place before, and the leader was Yang Yu of General Yang's clan brother Dingjun Division.

It seems that Gao Huan glanced at it, Yang Yu frowned, and then said: "Listen to me, the military and civilians in the two towns of Huaihuang and Woye have rebelled, especially the rebels of Woye, Po Liuhan Baling, have already commanded a large army to come to our Huaishuo, and the number of people is not known at present, but General Yang has already sent someone to inform the Pingcheng side, and we will now start to gather people and horses to prepare for defense and resistance, and there are a few things to announce when you gather you here, one: from today onwards, you must not go home without permission, and you will always be on standby in the service station, 2: From now on, the four major gate supervisors will strengthen the inventory of people entering the city to prevent them from coming in and making trouble. 3. The Military Administration has entered a state of emergency combat readiness, and if there is any unexpected situation reported to me in advance, the general shall not be disturbed, and those who violate the order shall be dealt with by military law. Do you understand everything? ”

"I understand everything!" Everyone replied in unison.

"Let's all go down and prepare!" Yang Yu turned around and said, "Gao Junmen, you stay for a while." ”

Gao Huan looked at the departing people with a blank expression.

"Gao Junmen, I recommended you to Fuyang to serve as the commander of the army, General Yang agreed, you go back to prepare, and you will go to the school field with General He Basheng, the guard of Fuyang, there must be no mistake."

"What? General, I'm afraid that sending me to Fuyang to garrison will delay the military situation! Gao Huan was anxious when he heard this, if you want to say that he is opportunistic, he is good at it, but if he wants to go to the front line to face to face with real swords and guns, it is really difficult for him at present.

"He Liuhun, I remember that you once said that your husband is alive, but you want to protect your family and defend the country, and you are heard by the princes, why is it that now that the opportunity has come, you are retreating?!" Yang Yu said impatiently: "Seeking wealth in troubled times is not something that can be obtained by relying on cheeky kung fu, without any military qualifications, how can you stand out, and still want to fly on the branches and become a phoenix?" Hum! "It's sneering.

"The general's lesson is, but even if I make a great contribution, but if I die in front of the battle, I won't be blessed, and I hope that the general and General Yang will understand the difficulties of the younger brother and take back the order, I am willing to be a grain officer in the rear, and ensure that the military supplies are also a contribution to the imperial court." Gao Huan didn't want to die yet, he crossed over here inexplicably, he hasn't figured out what the situation is, he has suffered so far, and he will be sent to death if he doesn't have a little taste, whoever goes is a fool! So I had to beg Yang Yu in a low voice.

"Hmph, you don't know what to do, I don't want to promote him if someone else begs me to give him wealth, since you want to marry Shangshu and don't have some merit, how do you want to climb high? That's it, I won't say much, just one sentence: There is no joke in the army, and delaying the time to send out the army is also a capital crime, so weigh it yourself. After speaking, he turned his head and left the school with his own guards, leaving Gao Huan who was stunned and dazed. How did he know that Lou Mingchun and I had a private agreement for life?!

"Oh, this old boy has long been dissatisfied with me and Lou Mingchun, and wants to take this opportunity to get me, damn!" Gao Huan secretly scolded in his heart: "How can I lead troops to fight? Isn't that asking me to die? ”

But after thinking about it, if he really slipped away, he was afraid that not only would he not have the chance to see Lou Mingchun again in the future, but he would also be wanted by the imperial court, dragging down the family, and everyone would now finally get out of the status of untouchables and live in Huaishuo City.

What should I do? So far, there is only one step at a time, and we will follow the army to Fuyang first.

Gao Huan, who was depressed, casually packed up his clothes and asked the brothers of the gate guard team to talk back to his mother and sister, only saying that he went to the front of the prison army, was promoted, and waited to come back and make a fortune. Gao Huan's mother and sister believed it, and Gao Han's also cried with tears and snot and asked the soldiers in the team to help take care of Gao Huan, and the soldiers had to leave with pretended comfort.

When Gao Huan arrived at the school field, it was already two or three o'clock in the afternoon, and he saw that the school field was full of soldiers, including dozens of horsemen, and a young general was counting the list of personnel with several military leaders.

Gao Huan stepped forward and arched his hand: "The last general, Gao Huan, come to order Mou." ”

"Ah, you are He Liuhun, I know you!" He Batsheng put down the booklet in his hand and raised his hand and said: "The legendary robber who slashed angrily, the hero who saved the beauty is you, disrespectful and disrespectful!" ”

"Everywhere, it's all the folks, where I have ever killed people, it was the robbers themselves who were scared away." Gao Huan looked frank.

"Haha, brother is really, I like it!" He Batsheng obviously admired Gao Huan's unpretentiousness.

"Everyone, since the personnel are here, we can rush to Fuyangshu." He Batyue turned over his horse, pointed forward with his horsewhip, and said loudly: "Go!" ”

Fuyang Shu originally had a garrison of 200 people, including 20 cavalrymen, plus 400 cavalry and 60 cavalry brought by He Bayue Gaohuan, and the number of defenders reached more than 600 people, which was an army of considerable size.

But when Gao Huan heard He Bayue say that there were more than 8,000 enemies who came to attack, they were all stunned. However, looking at He Bayue, who was younger than himself, methodically carrying Fu Yangshu to dispatch and defend, Gao Huan was secretly ashamed in his heart, and sighed to himself, it is worthy of being a famous family, it seems that I really want to follow the little general to learn the skills of the army to fight, we are modern college students, and our cultural foundation and talent are not bad, but the lack of proper training is very mental.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the enemy army is less than ten miles away from our Fuyang, do you think we will go out of the city to meet or defend behind closed doors?" Although He Batyue is young, he speaks in a very methodical and organized manner.

When several guards heard this, they expressed their positions one after another, some advocated going out of the city to meet the attack, and some advocated defending behind closed doors. One of the veterans named Duan Chang coughed loudly.

"What does the old general think?" After signaling everyone to be quiet, He Bayue asked Duan Chang on the side in a low voice, Duan Chang stroked his gray beard and said, "Fuyang Shu is just a small city, if you want to rely on defense to block an enemy ten times my size, it will be self-destruction!" As the old saying goes: there are not many soldiers who are fine. Now it is only a rabble of peddlers and pawns, bluffing people, but there is no unified coordination and coordination, and we cannot be united, we only need to set up an ambush on the side of the road, and try to kill the leading generals while they concentrate on attacking the city, and the rest will scatter and flee. ”

"Well, the old general has a point!" He Bayue immediately ordered: "Pass my order, General Duan has 200 people for the left army, ambush with the left side of Fuyang Mountain, General Gao and 200 people for the right army to ambush on the right side of Fuyang Road, I will lead the rest of the people as the middle army to attract the main force of the enemy." ”

"The last general obeys!" Everyone got up one after another to prepare for the attack, Gao Huan looked depressed, but there was nothing to do, at this moment there was no way except to catch the ducks on the shelves. The key is that his mother's martial arts are ordinary, and I'm really afraid of dying on the battlefield.

Duan Chang walked over and stretched out his hand to pat Gao Huan's shoulder and said, "General Gao, you and I have an appointment with artillery, as soon as the cannon sounds, you and I will attack left and right, and kill him without leaving a piece of armor!" The time to make a name for yourself is now! ”

Gao Huan smiled bitterly: "General Duan said that he laughed, how dare I have other requirements, if I can save my life today, I will be very satisfied." ”

Duan Chang looked surprised: "The general is also from the army, why do you say this?" ”

"Don't hide it from the old general, I was originally only appointed as the supervisor of the south gate of the city, and I was not the general, and I was sent here today to be the guarantee of the **** division, so I was..."

"Oh, I see." Duan Chang couldn't say anything more when he heard this, so he hugged his fists: "Take care, the old man will go and prepare first." ”

The roadside of Fuyang Road is full of half-meter-high artemisia grass, which is indeed a good place for Tibetans to set up ambushes, but Gao Huan has no experience in fighting at all, and it is as noisy and chaotic as chasing ducks with 200 people, but fortunately, several teams are veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time, and they quickly assigned the team to ambush them, only to wait for the enemy thieves to throw themselves into the net
